You show that you are thinking about ingredients and their interaction, though, I see you have selected a fair amount of ingredients that cause physical transformations, which is excellent."
He paused, considering. "You may go ahead with your brewing process, but you are NOT permitted to sample the potion yourself or give it to a test subject- there are some ingredients in there that may be fatal when used in concert. Instead, you will give your sample to me to evaluate." Kazimeriz nodded and smiled at her, giving her two gold stars. "An extra star for ambition." he tipped her a wink and moved on.
It occurred to him that he would have done well to invite the healer to this class. Oops.
At first Paris was afraid that he would nix her potion. It was ambitious she knew that. Go big or go home was something she lived by. She figured if she were going to fail at least she would fail in as much style as she did everything else in her life. She nodded and smiled as she got two gold stars.
She was looking like a right angel with halo of stars around her head. She went off to gather the ingredients to brew her potion.

POTIONS PLAN- A Diva's Work Draught
Your name: Paris Emily Greenwood
Your House: Slytherin
Your Year: 4th
Type of Potion you are Making: Physically Altering
Intent: A diva's work is never done. Sometimes you need to be in two places at once. This potion will make an exact copy of you so you can get all the jobs of being a diva done.
Ingredients:
* 7 Scarab beetles- (crushed)
* Skinkroot
* 500 ml of warm Water
* Fireseed (2 pinches, must be fresh)
* Aloe ( 7 leaves whole)
* Bicorn Horn
* 1 Boomslang skin (sliced)
* Knotgrass (a whole stalk)
* Leeches (a handful)
* Fluxwood ( 2 cm piece, quartered)
* Dittany (sliced)
Process:
1. Bring water to a very slow boil. Gently rolling
2. Add aloe, skinroot and dittany and steep for 10 minutes. Stirring often
3. Add leeches and beetle
4. Gently turn up the heat up
5. Add boomslang and fluxwood in alternative stages (if potion becomes to thick slowly add WARM water)
6. Once potion turns red add knotgrass stir clockwise 5 times
7. Turn off heat and once potion turns silver add the fireseed
8. Let the potion cool for 2 minutes and then add saliva
9. If brewed correctly potion should turn pink and a copy of yourself should appear in 28 seconds and last 24 hours*.
*Its extremely dangerous to have a copy of yourself running around for longer than 8 hours
After she got everything ready, she sliced and quartered all her ingredients. She lit the flame on her cauldron using her wand to adjust the flame down some. She didn't want to burn her eyebrows off when she added the dittany. She stood over her cauldron and watched as small bubbles started to form on the surface. Using her cutting board and her knife she swept the aloe leaves, skinroot and dittany into the cauldron. Now she had to stir for 10 minutes. The dittany needed time to break up into the potion. It would help the person feel whole again after their clone fizzled.
The 10 minutes went by slower than she thought was possible and she quickly added the leeches, well after she squealed because one was trying to crawl up her arm. After the little hissy fit in went the beetles and she used her wand once again to turn up the heat. Now it was time to add the boomslang and the fluxwood. She added a slice of the skin and then a quarter of the fluxwood and she did this back and forth slowly till it was all in the potion.
It was still grey and Paris started to worry that she was doing it wrong, but after a few nervous seconds it turned fire engine red. She clapped excitedly. She added the knotgrass and started to count as she stirred her potion clockwise 5 times. With her wand she doused the flame. She sat down on her stool to wait for her potion to turn silver. It took almost 15 minutes before it did and slowly added the fireseeds. She didn't want to burn her eyebrows off. When the potion was cooled she ladled some into a vial and corked it with her wand.
